- ? |
+ ? |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 55 |
Total number of stickers
= 100 + 95
= 195
In the end
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 55 = 2 u + 55
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
2 u + 55 = 195
2 u = 195 - 55 = 140
1 u = 140 ÷ 2 = 70
Number of stickers that are transferred from Box G to Box H
= Number of stickers in Box G at first - Number of stickers in Box G in the end
= 100 - 70
= 30
Answer(s): 30
